Long Process

It has been a long road waiting....
We are pregnant! Yes it is very early still but I think almost everyone knows that we are going through the very long and trying process of IVF (in-vitro fertilization). It has basically consumed our whole summer. All the shots, crazy hormones, bloat, craziness and driving (our doctor is in Ann Arbor).
We are thrilled and can not wait to have our ultrasound in two weeks to find out if we are having one or two. You can vote at the top and here is something to base your decision on:
When the pregnancy blood test comes back, they say 50 is considered a viable pregnancy. Most of the beta numbers I have read about are anywhere from 50 to 200ish. They also want your beta number to double within 48-72 hours. My betas were as follows:
beta 1: 401
beta 2: 921 (48 hours later)
beta 3: 1,912 (48 hours later)
